Contemplating the unknown. There is so much of it that I figure I might as well get started .... well...contemplating it. Should keep me busy for a while...or at least provide me with the opportunity to avoid actually doing something about the overwhelming volume of it. hmmm...wonder if I could write a script that could speed up the process of identifying it all..., might be the one time it is appropriate to write an endless loop...

Wishing all an excellent and interesting year!

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

Nothing special -- I think I'd like go out for some dim sum, but that's much more fun if you're in a group.

I also have a new machine with dual 1T drives that I've procrastinating making into my new RAID 1 NFS server -- haven't touched it in about four months. It may be worth while to wipe the machine clean and start again with the latest version of whatever OS would be best (suggestions welcomed).

... watching England retain the Ashes. I expect to spend New Year's Day watching England lose the Ashes.

My expectations having just been dashed, I now expect to spend the day watching Ricky Ponting's successor do even worse then he did. Commiserations (not heartfelt, though) to any Strines. :-)

I plan on trying to catch up on TV that's been recorded while away over Christmas, catching up on email and crocheting. I think the TV bit is going to take weeks, especially since most programs are set to record every week, so more is being added to the to-watch list every day.
